I'm curious, too.  Mine engages within a couple inches of the top, but I
have resistance through all but the first 3/8" or so of travel, so I don't
think it's a master cylinder pushrod problem.  I was thinking maybe my
clutch disc was just getting thin.  Are they all like this?  It doesn't
slip and take-up is smooth (unless the van has sat in wet weather for a
few days) so I've been just leaving well enough alone.
